When the Fairfield County Health Department vacates the Clarence E. Miller building at 1587 Granville Pike, it won't be leaving a good building behind. Instead, it will leave an old building with a multitude of problems.

But the county will still own it after the health department relocates to the Colonnade Medical Group building at 1550 Sheridan Drive, and it is responsible for what happens to it. The health department hopes to move next month after signing a 10-year lease last year. It's expected to cost about $50,000 to renovate the Colonnade to the health department's specifications.
